”But… What about you?” Kit asked, apprehension apparent in her quivering voice.
Bette pursed her lips and then said, ”I’ll do my best to get there at the earliest possible moment. As soon as I settle difficulties here in LA, I’ll come right away.”
”When will that be?”
”I don’t know, Kit. Three months, two years, ten years, maybe more. I truly have no idea.”
Kit began weeping. ”Oh, baby sis…”
Bette turned toward the backseat again and searched into Kit’s watery eyes. ”Promise me that you won’t waste time sitting around waiting for me to show up. I want you to move on and be happy. Find yourself a good New Zealand man and live away. You’re starting with a clean slate, so you must move on, do you hear me? Promise me you will move on.”
Shaking her head, Kit kept weeping into a tissue.
”Kit!” Bette raised her voice to bring her sister to her senses.
”I promise…” the distressed woman finally answered weakly.
”And please, take care of Marcus’s family… Please…”
Kit nodded, sniffling. ”Okay…”
Bette turned away from her. She caught sight of Shane furtively wiping a lone tear that was falling down her cheek.
Ten minutes later they reached Marcus’s house. Shane pulled over and parked on the side of the road before she and Bette climbed out of the vehicle, instructing Kit to wait inside. Both women took their bearings quickly.
”Stay on the lookout,” Bette told the short-haired woman and jogged up the steps to the front door. She had to ring the doorbell a few times to get Melissa to answer the door.
”Bette?” the woman appeared in the doorway, a sleepy tousled look in her hair and eyes, wearing a dressing gown. ”What’re you doing here so late?”
Letting herself into the house, Bette briefly explained to Marcus’s wife all that she had explained to her sister.
”No, I can’t–”
”Yes, you can and you will.”
”I can’t!” panic grew in Melissa’s voice. ”I’m not going anywhere! I’m staying in my house with my son!”
”Melissa,” Bette tried to reason, gripping both of the agitated woman’s shoulders and looking straight into her eyes, ”I’m not doing this just because I want to. What I want is for you and Chad to be safe, which you won’t be if you stay in LA. Do you understand?”

Hi Valerie:
This is sad as you said, but it’s also a great story, Marcus has been murdered and his killers are dead, apparently, it was Arnodelo who planned his death and he may go after Bette and Shane.
What bothers me is that one of the killers said (before dying) that they had the protection of the cops, which for me it could mean that Arnodelo wants to show that Bette alone with her gang is the criminal head behind the drug trafficking, because, in that way, he will have a break from the police persecution, while Bette and the gang are murdered making appeared as it was a fight among gangsters.
Now, honestly, I think we have reached the point in which Bette and Shane have to make a decision, and I trust you, Valerie, that you will lead us, sooner or later, in this wonderful, and amazing rollercoaster-story to a happy end.
Thank you so much for this excellent and heartbreaking story, I will be waiting impatiently for the next chapter.

I loveeeeee this dark story. Please update this soon.
Hey Valerie,
I am excited for the update, but i will read it in a few days. I need some happy and sweet and not sad and dark.
I truly enjoy your story and will follow it to the hopefully happy end.
Hey Valerie, i just read the chapter and boy you were right about warning us it was a sad one.
Especially the end where Tina took Bette in her arms and she finally broke down.
I still trust and hope that you stick to the title and that you will not let us and Bette fall.
It will be interesting to read how you are going to let Bette leave this mess and hopefully start a new life with Tina (and Shane) in Auckland. But that is my wish, maybe you have another end for this incredible story.
Thank you so much for for this incredible story!
I read the post 5 days ago and I’ve been contemplating about it since then. I definitely simpathize this Bette Porter, but I can’t decide for myself wether this is becouse it is still our Bette even if in a different incarnation, or because the circumstances of her life are so that we can’t help feeling pity for this woman. So what do you think, would we still like the main character if it were not Bette Porter ?
